The Société des Missions Etrangères a new apostolic missionary group established in Paris in 1660 was as a society of secular priests who devoted their lives to foreign missions but refrained from taking vows. Under the aegis of the Propaganda Fide the Société des Missions soon became embroiled in conflicts over territory with the Jesuits. As a result of the patriotism of its priests the organization's impact extended beyond evangelicalism into the political realm: in addition to facilitating a series of embassies and treaties it also successfully established a more active trade between Indo-China the Indies and France. This Relation brought fresh information about the condition of the mission in different parts of southeastern Asia between 1666 and 1671.</p><p>It consists of four parts the first dealing with the mission in Siam and containing descriptions of amongst others Bourbon Island Madagascar and Mozambique the second treating the situation in Cochin-China the third the mission in Cambodia and the fourth being devoted to Tonkin including an account of the work of bishop Lambert de la Motte. Lambert was a member of the Society's first expedition to the Far East which had left Europe in 1660.</p><p>Fermanel de Favery c. 1632-88 superior and director of the "S'naire pour les Missions Etrangères" signs the dedicatory epistle to Cardinal de Bo' and consequently Streit Lach and Van der Kley ascribe authorship to him.

First edition presentation set of this massive first installment in the Geological Survey of Southeast Asia begun in 1908 documenting the biostratigraphy of the Yunnan Region which was awarded the Tchihatchef Prize of the French Academy of Sciences. Much of this survey work was done during the building of the Hanoi to Yunnan-fou Kunming railroad which was built by the French to exploit the tremendous mineral wealth of Yunnan. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources for France in Vietnam was Honore Lantenois 1863-1940 who worked for years with Henri Mansuy 1857-1937 and sent him back to France several times to study palaeontology at the School of Natural Resources Ecole des Mines. Lantenois recruited Jacques Deprat 1880-1935 in 1908 -- at the time a brilliant palaeontologist -- to conduct an ambitious program mapping the geology of Indochina and neighboring areas. All three men became involved in the notorious Deprat Affair which resulted in Mansuy accusing Deprat to Lantenois in 1917 that Deprat had used a few European-sources trilobites among his fossil specimens from Indochina and Yunnan. This accusation rested on the distinction that the suspect trilobites were not just similar in nature to others found in Europe but the matrix they were embedded may have originated from Europe. Although nearly 90 years later it would be determined that the trilobite fauna discovered by Deprat indicated that the Yunnan had occupied a location adjacent to Bohemia originally in the early Palaeozoic period; the French scientific community condemned Deprat at the time stripped him of his degrees and posts and forced him to leave the field. A complete set including the Atlas is quite scarce.

19683397San Francisco 1968. Very good. Broadsheet on blue paper 13.5 x 8.5 inches. Slight discoloration along top and bottom edges minor edge wear a few soft creases old horizontal folds. An exceedingly rare broadsheet advertising a multi-faceted public march and rally against the Vietnam War and "racism poverty and repression" which took place in San Francisco California about three weeks after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The organizers of the event the April 27 Mobilization Committee framed the day's activities around Dr. King's opposition to the Vietnam War; the broadside calls for the protesters to "pay tribute to the memory" of Dr. King his portrait is printed at the top of the front side of the broadsheet and the entirety of the verso prints excerpts of an April 4 1967 speech by Dr. King railing against the Vietnam War. Particularly interesting is the eclectic list of speakers who participated in the day's events on April 27 1968 which included Muhammad Ali Vanessa Redgrave Jeanette Rankin Bobby Seale Arnold True and Sidney Roger. Ali was in the midst of his appeal after his conviction for draft evasion the previous year and was a natural candidate to speak against the injustices of the Vietnam War. Bobby Seale co-founder of the Black Panthers was four months away from participating in protests at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention after which he was arrested and tried as part of the sham Chicago Eight fiasco.<br /> <br /> The diversity of the speakers echoes the quantity of different issues represented by the current broadsheet: Civil Rights the Vietnam War the recent assassination of Dr. King Muhammad Ali's legal fight against the war Bobby Seale's controversial role with the Bay Area Black Panthers women's rights and the role of the American military.

19698850Washington DC: Vietnam Moratorium Committee 1969. First Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 3 3/4 X 8 1/2 Inches. Iconic original 1969 brochure from the fall 1969 protests which included a "weekend" of national action spanning Nov. 13th to the 15th. Thousands marched from Arlington Cemetery into Washington D.C. and other simultaneous demonstrations.<br /> <br /> The Vietnam Moratorium Committee emerged in 1969 as a defining expression of widespread American dissent against the Vietnam War uniting a diverse coalition of students labor activists clergy intellectuals and ordinary citizens in coordinated nationwide protest. Unlike smaller ideologically narrow antiwar groups the Moratorium Committee emphasized mass participation and civic visibility organizing synchronized marches teach-ins and public demonstrations designed to bring the war's human and economic costs into sharp relief for the broader public. Its significance lies in the scale and strategy it pioneered: by framing opposition to the war not only as a moral imperative but also as a democratic duty the committee transformed antiwar sentiment from scattered activism into a nationally recognized political movement forcing both media and policymakers to confront the depth of public disillusionment and ultimately shaping the trajectory of U.S. foreign policy debate.<br /> <br /> OCLC LOCATES ONLY "2" COPIES Northwestern and U. of Kansas<br /> <br /> Condition: Light scuffing and a horizontal fold probably from insertion into a pocket in 1969.

19677771New York: Pocket Books 1967. First Paperback Edition. Original wraps. Very Good. 4 1/4 X 7 Inches. 262 PP. "The doom Pussy was the first book on Vietnam to chronicle aerial combat. Among the truckloads of fan mail the author received were scores of letters from veteran pilots who claimed they had carried the book as their "bible" on the conflict." - Ben Shephard<br /> <br /> First paperback printing released the same year as the hardcover edition. Elaine Shepard began her career in Hollywood as an actress under contract with R.K.O. pictures. She starred in numerous films but eventually left acting in favor of journalism.

A very early Vietnam War era novel that predates much of the ground war that would later consume the world. Some wear to edges and spine. A few faint spots. A very scarce book in commerce.
